Emergent Cultures of Engagement:
evolve in gathered crucial networks in processes of a collaborative authoring of outcomes
are transmitted through experience in collaborative action tuned to fulfill specific shared needs
happen in multiple presences in networked realities in which the design of time, place, action and relation are distinct for trust to build
are fundamentally dependent on witnessing, on being witness and bearing witness, for developing sustainable organizations in which respect for human dignity is core.
